The Rotate MD-11 v1.20 is now available in both Freighter and Passenger variants.

In this release we have added support for SimBrief via ACARS and AOC COMM pages in the MCDU, tape style engine displays, integration of the new WX/MAP displays and functions, compatibility with X-Plane FMS format with SID/STAR capabilities, wind forecast pages and vertical revision page 2, a review of pitch and roll authority and manual handling, along with a partial rewrite of LSAS and CWS as well as other autopilot modes and tuned performance and fuel burn predictions. We have also made many improvements to several systems and fixed the bugs that came up in the the previous iteration. Note that some of the changes only apply to X-Plane 12. You can check the complete changelog below.

We have also improved the model and textures of the main cargo deck in the Freighter variant.
